Setting: The Planet Windarra, sometime in the future
Sensuality: 8

Born and raised in the far-off East on the Planet Windarra, Sariana Dayne's business expertise is desperately needed by the West sector's flamboyant Avylyn clan, but even her cool logic can't solve a serious business theft. Desperate, she devises a scheme to employ a member of the warrior Shield clan in the recovery operation. Unfortunately for Sariana's peace of mind, her practical plan turns shaky when she gazes into the fierce eyes of the Shield mercenary Gryph Chassyn, and realizes that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. Gryph takes one look at Sariana and decides that she's one of the few women in the world who could become his Shield mate. Unfamiliar with the West sector's Shield society, Sariana can't even guess what mating with Gryph will do to her life--she only knows he stirs a depth of passion in her that she can't deny. Before she grasps the consequences, Sariana is allied with the powerful mercenary and they set off on a dangerous journey to recover the stolen prism cutter. Along the way, they discover unexpected possibilities in their bonding, even as their lives are threatened with deadly peril. And if they can only survive the obstacles, Gryph and Sariana just may change the future of Shield society forever.

The multitalented Krentz flexes her fantasy muscles in this absorbing story of love on a planet far, far away. The heroine is sharp-tongued and quick-witted and she's paired with a hero who is equally intelligent and physically powerful. As expected from Krentz, the fast-paced story is expertly plotted with superb sexual tension in all the right places. Small wonder that Krentz is on the shortlist of the most successful romance authors of the decade; two chapters into this novel and you'll know exactly why she's so popular. --Lois Faye Dyer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book. Jayne Ann Krentz does it again, January 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Shield's Lady (Lovestruck) (Paperback)

If you liked Jayne Ann Krentz's 'Jayne Castle' books you will like these too. There is more fantasy in "Shield's Lady" and the other Glass books: "Sweet Starfire" & "Crystal Flame", then in the Castle books. Unfortunatly, the Glass books are not connected together. The plot is solid with great dialog and plenty of action and suspense. The culture of the world is fully fleshed-out with significant differences from ours. There is plenty of originality. I hope she uses this world again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sci fi meets romance as only Jayne Anne Krentz can do, November 24, 1997

This review is from: Shield's Lady (Mass Market Paperback)

A piece of trivia - this book was published in 1989 under Amanda Glass. I read this before I read any Krentz. Like all Krentz books, there are strong, intelligent women, and strong, teachable men. A very satisfying book. PS those that enjoy this side of Krentz will probably like her books written under Jayne Castle.

This review is from: Shield's Lady (Mass Market Paperback)

I had heard of this book for a long time and as a big fan of Jayne's books, I looked everywhere for it. When I finally found it, I took the whole evening to savor it. And I did. The characters in the book were very interesting and the chemistry was there. I like female characters that know they can live without the man in their lives but take a chance and go for it. I like male characters who reveal (even if it is only to the reader) that he has doubts that his woman is going to fall at his feet, even if they do. They are the same people we are and we can relate to them yet they are put in extraordinary situations and must test themselves and their love for each other. Take the night off, put on some soft music and savor this book with a glass of wine and a bowl of cherries. Good reading.
